Westfalia Trailer, before and after...........

[Cali_bay]

Finally rescued it from the back of the garage then? Took me a long time to clean off the several layers of paint off mine and quite a lot of nitromors. Manged to clean all the other bits with a grit blaster.

Thanks again for the lid measurements. I have made the hinges and getting the frame angle made, then just need to weld and paint. I'll stick some pictures up shortly.

So i cracked on with my trailer.

after 3 coates of smoothrite :roll:

While i was waiting for the paint to dry i made a start on removing the poo coloured paint that someone had paint it.

does not look to bad (if i say so) It's only cost me around £20 so far, but a lots man hours :moon:

Hows the spare wheel held onto the front of the trailer as id like to attach a spare to my trailer? cheers tim nice trailers !

 

[marcher]

it is held on by 2 large screws that go through the 2 middle holes on the wheel and fixed to the back of the front panel.
hope that helps and i clear. Can take closer photos if you wish.

anyone got a spare westy lock for one of these mine bust

 

[clyde]

So did mine Tim so i got 2 from the local trailer shop (one for each end) much more secure and now lockable as the key didnt come with mine. Spoke to that bloke you put me onto Tim and the towbar is a wrong un. Cheers anyway. Have you sorted your swingarm problem yet?

 

[TimL]

swing is at the welders will be picking up next week, hopefully it wil fit back on , trailer just had a quick lick of varnish, hopefully back together and ready for Stanford hall! certainly looking better already! cheers

Low lighter notice you have a staedy near the tow hitch it folds down and up when towing what holds it in these positions as i have one but the bit for holding in position is missing so use a cable tie when towing
